Abstract
Experimental results concerning proton production in nuclear collisions, obtained at Saturne with the Diogene 4π facility, are compared with the predictions of a thermodynamical model, using collective velocity distributions combined with a statistical thermodynamics in local rest frames. Experimental differential cross sections for alpha + nucleus and Neon + nucleus central collisions at incident energies between 200 and 800 MeV per nucleon are well reproduced by the model, for an angular range 30–110 degrees in the laboratory system. Extracted values of the temperatures are compared with those given by other authors.
